Kelly Ripa wants to play matchmaker for David Muir, but not in the way you’d expect.
The ABC World News Tonight anchor stopped by the Monday, November 9, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark to chat about their series and share life updates, including talking about his recent 53rd birthday.
“It was great. You know, Brahm, my nephew, lives in town now, so he came to the dinner,” Muir said of his birthday celebrations. “Just two seconds ago, before I turned the corner here, he texted, ‘I don’t think I ever actually said ‘Happy Birthday’ at your dinner.'”
Ripa and Consuelos got excited at the mention of Muir’s nephew. “He’s such a great guy,” Consuelos gushed, while Ripa added, “Guys, Brahm is so gorgeous.”
Ripa even noted that she’s tried to welcome Muir nephew into her family. “I’ve been trying to set him up with every single niece of mine. I’m not kidding,” she quipped.
Muir sang his nephew’s praises, stating, “He’s a smart guy.” Ripa agreed, adding, “He’s smart and handsome and conscientious. He’s a chip off the old block.”
Chatting about his nephew’s love life made Muir chuckle. “This is like a dating show now,” he joked. “[Brahm is] gonna die. You know what? He’s at work, which is exactly where he should be. Right? He has no idea this is happening.”

Muir’s nephew has popped up on his social media feed a handful of times over the years. “The graduate. So proud. #graduation #nephew #lakers,” he captioned an Instagram snap of Brahm in June 2018, seemingly celebrating a school graduation.
The first slide of Muir’s 2020 New Year’s Day Instagram post featured a snap of himself and Brahm swimming in the ocean together. “Family + friends who are family + ax = 2020,” he wrote alongside the photos. “Wishing you happiness and unexpected gifts in the new year.”
In November 2021, Muir shared Instagram pics of himself and a bearded Brahm checking out a Ferrari. “Nephew has good taste,” he captioned the upload.
While Muir seemingly confirmed his nephew is single, the TV personality is much more private about his own love life. Muir has not publicly confirmed whether he is single or in a relationship, and he has no children.
Muir previously reacted to fans thirsting over him on social media in a May 2025 interview with People. “People will forward TikTok videos, but only because they are laughing out loud at them and making fun of me and saying, ‘When did you become Daddy?’ So I don’t know whether that happens when you hit 50 or what, but I’ll take it as a compliment, I think,” he joked. “Anyone who works with me knows that I am so uncomfortable even having to put on the tux. So the fact that I survive those events is still a surprise to me without looking like a total nerd.”
He jokingly added, “Maybe it’s lost on me, but I guess Daddy’s better than the alternative.”
